Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.
Barack H. Obama
The Canine-American community is deeply offended by Barack Obama’s off-prompter remarks in Milwaukee which suggested that being compared to a dog is meant as an insult. Canine advocacy groups were quick to point out that dogs are, in fact, loyal and trustworthy—traits that cannot be associated with human politicians.
Word of this most recent affront spread quickly via p-mail. Reactions ranged from disbelief to indignance. Many in the Canine-American community and their supporters were quick to point out that this was not the first time the president has slandered them. Obama audaciously referred to himself as a “mutt” not long after his election. Most recently, he described mixed breed humans as “a mongrel people”, to the chagrin of mixed breed dogs who now wish to be known as “hybrids”.
Americans love their canine companions, in sharp contrast the Muslim world. Islam dictates that dogs are “unclean” and should not be kept as pets. Many dogs find this somewhat ironic in view of the personal hygiene practices observed in some Muslim countries.
This isn’t the first time Obama has expressed a bizarre thought process, nor will it be the last. And it should be pointed out that all three of my German Shepherds, including the foreign born one, can produce valid birth certificates.
